A passenger aboard a recent Jet2 flight from Spain to England saw something no traveler ever wants to see on a plane: a beer in the cockpit.
Steve Lewis, of Northamptonshire, England, says he was shocked upon landing at Birmingham airport and seeing a can of Stella Artois sitting between the pilots.
The plane had landed and the seatbelt light came on. I stood up to get my suitcase and as I did the cockpit door opened and I noticed the can, said Lewis, according to The Metro. I turned to my partner Steven, who didnt believe me at first, but then he noticed you could clearly see the Stella

I wonder whether Steve and his “partner” Steven are as desperate for attention as so many others from their demographic. Was the beer from after landing? Was the beer from a flight attendant who gave it to them to spit their tobacco? There are a lot of innocent explanations, and a single beer can would not freak me out even if the pilot drank it while flying.
I have been told that. It seems the more relaxed you are the better.
The only time I ever crashed was when the pilot was sober.
Funny. :)
One of my favorite movies, I didn’t even need to watch the video when you mentioned the Old Fashions. Benjy, I can’t see!
Stella Artois counts as beer? Who knew?
When pilots of flights I’m on bring a plane in 10 minutes ahead of schedule I always “tip” the pilot a well made cigar for a good flight. I suspect something similar is at play here. Pilots are human. If it was a half empty bottle of Tito ‘s, I’d be concerned.
"Just press the button marked 'boooze'."
I believe the pilot and co-pilot had a bet on how smoothly the pilot could land the plane. The pilot bet that he wouldn’t slop one drop of beer.
Is that a beer or an ale? And what brand is that?
And that console in the middle with the big lever?
That’s a fake panel where they keep the bottle. ;-)

Hey, Hold my beer while I land this here plane.....
This is outrageous!!!!
Personally, I never “drink & drive”.
I always do my drinking before I drive to avoid spilling the beer in my lap.
A couple of homos wetting their panties, what a shock.
Imagine if they saw a Confederate flag in there?
Janie, was that you? :-)
Mmmnn, nah. The door would have been closed. LOL
The very clip I was thinking of. Hilarious.
Lol.
Any chance of that being a photoshopped pic?
That’s funny!
You’re right. That’s a girls leg. They had a party going.
